When I first became Forum Management I heard a couple of users making comments about our index and how its long etc and I'll be honest, I ignored them as I agreed with you - I liked our variety of forums.

However as the weeks and months went on it's something I heard more and more and more - especially from users on Habbo who perhaps had not yet registered or not yet started using the Forum properly, I am usually the first person to shoot down people who say "look at chf, look at hffm" however our index in comparison to some other sites was absolutely huge - it felt quite old if I'm honest and it really did need trimming down a bit.

Posts within Animals & Pets on the first page spanned 1 month, Food & Drink, over a month & a half, what's really the point in having these forums which are pretty much dead, when they can be merged into Discuss Anything which is now twice as active. I agree that perhaps less threads on those topics will be posted now and when people get used to it they'll post more threads eventually, hell, everything else gets posted in Discuss Anything :P

When we get multiple criticisms about the length of our index I can't afford to have forums on it which rarely get used, it is a loss but as Jake has said it was a loss for the greater good, it has also made Discuss Anything more active and of course with the stuck threads from Food & Drink in there it's a reminder you can post these kind of topics in there.

I see where you are coming from now. However could we at least get a sticky in discuss anything to remind users that anything to do with pets or animals can be posted, so at least then it will help threads like that fit in and also encourage users to post about it? To keep the amount of stickies low you could scrap the "Post a random fact about you" thread as people use that to get their post count up, absolutely no discussion whatsoever in that thread by the looks of it.

First one - First page covers posts from 22-08-10
Second one -First page covers posts from 22-08-10

These two are considerably more active than Food & Drink and Animals & Pets which spanned back to late June and Mid July respectively.

Anime Forum - this is about as inactive as they were, however I don't think Anime would fit into Discuss Anything :P Can you think of anywhere it would fit Richie? :P

"Anything related to Anime can now be posted in the Spam section"

Nah just kidding lol, although I do hate Anime with a vengeance.

Rather than a sticky, because I hate cluttered stickies and most people don't read sticky reminders anyway, I could put a forum notice over discuss anything, although as long as the description clearly states it's to discuss anything that doesnt fit anywhere else it should be fine, yes our older users may get confused about where these forums are however they can be directed to discuss anything, as the couple of people who have asked have been already.

I think the key difference when it comes to Richie's suggestion and the forums recently removed is that of the communities within these forums, too. The anime, runescape and gaming forums whilst not the most active still have a strong community who frequent those forums and their removal would have far more of an impact than the food and drink, and animals forums where there was little sense of community rather a place to post quite specific topics which are equally suited in discuss anything which also lacks any real, cohesive community.

Agreed completely.

Lets not get me started on the idea of removing the anime forum.

Also, it cant be that much of a difference, since it took you like 2 weeks to notice it?

When it had just happened I didn't really think it would work too well but never really thought much of it. Then when I came to post a thread related to animals and pets in discuss anything the response was pathetic compared to how it would of been in the original Animals and Pets section. Yesterday I was half way through making another thread in discuss anything to do with my new dog but I just knew that the response would be bad again so didn't bother, straight after that is when I posted this thread in feedback.

Lets be honest though, its because that section was mainly to get your post count up, unless someone was asking a question. Most were ppl posting their animal and ppl going "awww how cute" "awww i want one" "awwwwww". It just seems that people dont always wanna comment on how cute someones cat is, or it could have just been a coincidence. Honestly, depends on the thread not entirely the forum, for example, I just spam click New Posts, so most of the time i just skim read titles and dont particularly look at what forum is where, hence why i sometimes accidentally read an entire habbo thread D:
